My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

Kill them with Chemo Kindness......

A few of the side effects of chemo that have popped up this round are numbness in my finger tips - feels like I'm playing with dried glue on my fingers, a slight rash on my hand, and a definite decrease in my taste buds.  The whole turkey dinner was not the same WOW this year - all the starchy stuff tasted the same- the vegetables tasted the most pleasing.  So it is time to choose my foods carefully - one of the side effects is also weight gain.
If I am going to "enjoy this journey" - I want to pick foods for myself that increase my enjoyment.  I ordered a side order of Mac and Cheese yesterday at our Snodgrass Picadilly Thanksgiving - and it was darn good!  Also got dessert of Blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream.  Also a great choice!

Thought for today.....life is short.....eat dessert first!  Happy Sunday - it's rainy and cold here, a great day to get some sewing projects finished.
